| book description |

Journeys to Sudan Seeking Sanctuary tells the stories of a group of Western Muslim converts who found liberation in Sudan. They describe their spiritual and physcial journeys from one way of life to another, contrasting their fragile expectations with a sweet reality. They explain how they found happiness in a country caricatured as starving and angry. But most of all, they provide us with insights that challenge lazy prejudice about Islam, in a striking counterpoint to fears about fundamentalism, extremism and religious hostility. Seeking Sanctuary delves deeper into the psychology of a country and its inhabitants than our current-affairs-driven media has ever allowed. It is a stunning collection of intimate portraits that dazzle, especially in contrast to the general religious and cultural nervousness. It is a wonderful series of stories about adversity, courage and life change.
